For my last concert I just used P or Av mode with widest apeture setting. ISO I try to cap at 400 max and used noise ninja in pp if I'm not too lazy. Most importantly for a 2 1/2 times optical zoom LX3, get realllllly close. Which means getting a front row seat

Finally, try to expose for highlights and shoot in raw.

Happy Concerting!

Try to set your own white balance as well. I find the auto wb gives me over-funky colors.
